Cuspicephalus was a flying reptile that lived near the sea in what is now England. It had a very long, pointy skull and caught fish with its many teeth.2 3

Inyani emnandi: iipterosauri zazibhabha phezu kweedayinaso, kodwa zazingabazala bazo, hayi iidayinaso ngokwazo.

izinto ezimnandi

Iinyani ezimnandi

Cuspicephalus had a skull that was almost five and a half times longer than it was tall. That is the most extreme ratio of any pterosaur.2

Its name means 'pointed head' and it was named after the cartoonist Gerald Scarfe, whose drawings often have very pointy noses.1

Cuspicephalus is one of the first non-pterodactyloid monofenestratan pterosaurs found outside China.1

The only known fossil is a flattened skull found on a beach at Kimmeridge Bay, part of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site.2 1

Cuspicephalus had at least 12 or 13 pairs of teeth in front of a large hole in its skull called the nasoantorbital fenestra.1

Umfanekiso owenziwe yi-AI: Cuspicephalus — Umfanekiso owenziwe yi-AI obonisa indlela Cuspicephalus esenokuba wayekhangeleka ngayo, wenziwe yikhompyutha ngokwento eyaziwa zizazinzulu. Kukuqikelela nje: esona silwanyana sinokuba sasikhangeleka ngenye indlela, kwaye akukho mntu waziyo imibala yaso yokwenyani.

ubuzile

Eyona mibuzo ibuzwa kakhulu: Cuspicephalus

?How big was Cuspicephalus?

It was a small pterosaur with a wingspan of about 1.2 to 1.75 metres. Its skull was 32.6 centimetres long.2 1

?What did Cuspicephalus eat?

It likely ate fish, catching them with its many sharp teeth. Its long, pointed skull was good for snatching prey from the water.2

?When did Cuspicephalus live?

It lived during the Late Jurassic period, about 155 to 150 million years ago. Its fossils were found in the Kimmeridge Clay Formation in England.2 3

Igama lenzululwazi: Cuspicephalus
Inikwe igama ngu:: Martill and Etches 20133
Iqela: Izirhubuluzi ezibhabhayo
Usapho / iclade: Monofenestrata3
Ukuhlelwa: Pterosauria3
Ubudala bamatye: 155 ukuya ku-152 izigidi zeminyaka (Kimmeridgian)3
Izakhiwo zamatye: Kimmeridge Clay3
Amazwe: iUnited Kingdom3
Iirekhodi zeefosili: 1 kwi-Paleobiology Database3
Ukufunyanwa: Fossil collector Steve Etches found the partial skull in December 2009 at Kimmeridge Bay, Dorset, England. Scientists David Martill and Steve Etches named it Cuspicephalus scarfi in 2013.2 1
Kusaxoxwa ngayo: Scientists are not sure whether Cuspicephalus was more closely related to Darwinopterus or to pterodactyloids like Germanodactylus.1
